Year 5 - Autumn Term 1 - What was life like for Victorian children?

Welcome to Year 5!  Our first half term's topic is "What was life like for Victorian children?" and we have some exciting and inspiring activities to help us delve into this important period in history.  Our visit to George Street Chapel will enhance their learning and help the class to empathise with children from the past.  Have a look at the Medium Term Plan below to find other activities planned for all areas of the curriculum.  Also attached is the Challenge Home Learning grid for this term’s topic.  This contains activities to complete if you are home learning, or just want to do some


House Captains

Our new House Captains have been voted for Sapphire, Amber, Ruby and Emerald. Good luck to our new houses. Let's see who our first winner is! 


Year 5's South American Topics!

During this last Half Term, Year 5 have immersed themselves in all things South American!  They created homework tasks, based on one of the South American countries - our knowledge (including mine) has grown so much!  The children can now successfully match the images of the different flags (in record time) and they are able to identify the difference between a human and a physical feature.  They can also recognise work by the famous Brazilian artist, Beatriz Milhazes!  Amazing!  Here are some of them presenting their topics to the class, along with their work on display.  Thank you Year 5


Awards Assembly

Today we shared our final awards assembly. In each class two children won a special end of year award for either attainment or behaviour- they also received a gift card to say thank you for their hard work this year. We also celebrated our leaders around school including our Head Boy and Girl, Prefects, Librarians, Reading Ambassadors, Pupil Leaders, Sports Ambassadors and Eco leaders. 

Additionally we found out our new Head Boy and Girl and prefects for our next academic year- I am sure they will all do a wonderful job. 


Food Tech in Year 5 - Making Guacamole!

As part of their South American topic, Mrs Hallam helped Year 5 to make Guacamole this week!  Using avocado, lime juice, cherry tomatoes and a hint of garlic, the children demonstrated their culinary skills of cutting, mashing and mixing to make this South American based dipl  They really enjoyed making it and (most) children loved eating it afterwards with Doritos!  Well done everyone and a massive thank you to Mrs Hallam for helping them!  Mrs Blomeley


House Cup Winners

A huge congratulations to Team Amber, who have won the House Cup and will receive non-uniform day on Friday 26th July. The team scored a huge 1,091 points! Well done.


Arguing in Year 5!

As part of their Writing unit on Balanced Arguments, Year 5 put their "for" and "against" arguments to the test when they argued whether school uniforms should be worn in school!  They were brilliant and it helped when they came to write their final piece about "Why is South America a Continent of Contrasts?"  Mrs Blomeley


Awards in Year 5 w/e 19.7.24

Our last merit assembly of this academic year gave us so many awards!  Headteacher's merits were awarded for being hardworking and helpful, as well as being a great role model with an amazing sense of humour!  Good to be Green awards were given for being Ready, Respectful and Safe.  Gold awards for gaining 170 star points in Year 5 and, unbelievably, we had three winners of Headteachers medals for gaining 250 star points!  Wow!  Well done to everyone this year for their amazing efforts in Year 5!  Mrs Blomeley


Jason Robinson

We have had the best morning at Broadbent Fold - rugby legend Jason Robinson delivered a special assembly. The children were inspired by this magnificent athlete. He shared his history in sport and his current work with the Jason Robinson Foundation. The foundation currently deliver rugby each week with Charles - we are very grateful for all the support and dedication to our school.
